Story
The Rank-Up-Magic cards were first introduced in the anime by Girag, who used "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" to brainwash residents of Heartland in order to take the "Numbers" from Yuma, Astral and Shark. Each time it would be used to Rank-Up Xyz monsters into "CXyz" monsters in order to overpower the "Numbers". Mizar used it next when he himself ranked up his "Template:Anime" in order to form its Chaos form. This monster wasn't fully revealed as the Sphere Field collapsed from its power. Alito and Girag both ranked up their respective "Number 10X" monsters. Both of them were defeated by Yuma and Astral (Girag was also defeated by Vector posing as Ray). In the same Duel where Girag was defeated, Yuma gained his own Rank-Up-Magic card in the form of "Limited Barian's Force" during his Duel with Girag from "Ray" but was later transformed into "Numeron Force" by ZEXAL II. Vector also demonstrated his mastery of Rank-Up-Magic cards when he used "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" on his "Number 10X" monster, and also to brainwash Brook Walker.
When Yuma went to the Astral World looking for Astral, he Dueled against Eliphas who used "Template:Anime" in his Duel against Yuma, resulting in the first appearance of "Rank-Up Xyz Evolution".
Vetrix and Quinton researched the Barian World and managed to create "Template:Anime". Due to it being reverse engineered from the Barian cards, its effect is weaker, only Ranking Up the monster and doing nothing else. Quattro, Trey and Quinton would go on to use this card against the Seven Barian Emperors".
When Shark became Nash once again he augmented the Barian Emperors with the Spell Card "Template:Anime" which worked specifically for their "Number 10X" monsters and was used by all the Emperors except Vector. They still retained the original "Barian's Force", and Alito used it to Summon "Number C80: Requiem in Berserk. Vector gained a new "Rank-Up-Magic" card during his Duel against Nash in Episode 137, "Rank-Up-Magic Admiration of the Thousands". During the same Duel Nash also demonstrated a new "Rank-Up-Magic" card: "Quick Chaos", the first "Rank-Up-Magic" Quick-Play Spell Card.
Astral's final Duel against Yuma revealed him to possess three "Rank-Up-Magic" cards: "(Double-) Utopia Force", "Dark Force", and "(Hyper-) Ultimate Force".
In the ZEXAL manga, Yuma obtained "Rank-Up-Magic - Shining Force" during his second Duel against Kaito.
In the ARC-V anime, Shay Obsidian was shown to possess seven "Rank-Up-Magic" cards: "Raptor's Force", "Revolution Force", "Raid Force", "Doom Double Force", "Soul Shave Force", "Skip Force", and "Escape Force". While merged with his dimensional counterpart Yuya Sakaki, Yuto was shown to possess two "Rank-Up-Magic" cards: "The Phantom Knights' Launch" and "The Phantom Knights' Burial". While in the Fusion Dimension, Kite Tenjo was shown to possess three "Rank-Up-Magic" cards: "Cipher Ascension", "Cipher Pursuit", and "Cipher Shock".
"Rank-Up-Magic" cards are implied to not exist in the Standard Dimension, as Dipper O'rion has stated that LID doesn't instruct people in their use.
In the Japanese version of the anime, when a Duelist declares the activation of a "Rank-Up-Magic" card, they do not say the phrase "I activate the Spell Card..." However, if the card is not a Normal Spell Card, they declare the card's property.
